Dear Friends,
We opened our new state of the art office on October 1 on 32nd Street off Park Avenue. We are now located just 8 blocks south of our original site.
We welcome Dr. Catherine Weinberg, an experienced cardiologist with a special interest in congenital heart disease in the adult. For her complete bio, please click on the "Our Physicians" link.

In The SpotlightFAMILY HISTORY OF HEART DISEASE:
THE PREMATURE CORONARY"My father died of a heart attack at the age of 50, will I share his fate?"

In this age of medical genetics and self-awareness, we wonder what we can do to protect ourselves from our parent or grandparent?s medical maladies. The sons and daughters of parents who died of heart disease at early ages (before 55 in a father or before 65 in a mother) often mentally count down as their own birthday approaches that of their parent when catastrophe struck. The ensuing anxiety often paralyzes their efforts to seek the kind of medical advice that could prevent their own event.
